BGTV8 VQ40HRGA Race engine build

BGTV8

Patience .... should be able to hear it sing in Feb .........

The job-list is getting longer not shorter

Race regs for 2020 mean plastic fuel cell is NFG hence need to reinstall OEM tank and 50 minute to 1-hour races means 120 litres required so extra tank needs to be fabbed and then surge tank ....

Cage needs bar-work as it is not National Series compliant ....

Some Delrin bushes in the suspension to be replaced by SPL.

Shocks need to come out and be serviced .........

This sh1t is not quick unfortunately.

As soon as it is running on ITB I want to video a dyno session 'cos I suspect the engine will "sing". Induction roar on ITB is seductive .... you want to hear 8 x ITB on my V8 MG at 8000rpm ..... beautiful ... The VQ engine will be more better !!!

But patience ...... do it right - do it once !!

Not helped by the time of year as everyone has downed tool for the next 2 weeks ...........
